Seattle Judicial Reception & 2024 WDTL Annual Awards
Each year at its Seattle Judicial Reception, the WDTL recognizes four exceptional lawyers for their contributions to the bench, the bar, and our community: (1) outstanding defense trial lawyer, (2) outstanding litigation associate, (3) outstanding plaintiff’s lawyer, and (4) community leadership. Nominations are submitted by our members and core sponsors, and are then voted on by WDTL’s board of trustees votes.
This year was an exceptional year for nominees. The WDTL had many standouts in each category, making the decision even more difficult for its trustees. But four lawyers stood out above all the rest:
WDTL’s Seattle Judicial Reception was a smashing success. Over 100 WDTL members, trial and appellate judges, core sponsors, and friends and family of the award winners attended the event at the Washington Athletic Club. Heartfelt speeches and fellowship once again took over the Washington Athletic Club for an evening.
WDTL again thanks its core sponsors for supporting the Seattle Judicial Reception and the award winners.
